The best soccer players all have one thing in common. They learned to love the soccer ball at home. Tom Byer, a former pro in Japan whose book “Football Starts at Home,” is probably known to many of you, is a passionate advocate not just for early childhood ball mastery, but also for the critical importance of the parent-child relationship in skill development, and the knock-on benefits for kids of learning to focus on the ball.

In a couple weeks we (Belz and at least a couple of the grassroots episodes guests) are going to record a 4th episode where we respond to questions and comments. You can send us a voicemail here: https://www.speakpipe.com/scuffedpod
